Hello my darling tribe!
I hope this new pattern brings you inspiration and joy.
It took me ages to get the colours the way I like them. I think I restarted it about four times.
The colours eventually came from a bunch of Australian native flowers that I had in the vase from family that visited a week earlier. To be precise it was the dark burgundy red of the Waratah flower that started it all. From there, the burnt orange, saturated brown and mustard yellow felt like a natural combination. The dark teal blue around the leaves that protrude from the flowers came right at the end. I originally had an olive green there but thought that was a bit boring and really wanted something with a hint of blue.
So there you have it.
I hope you love the pattern, the magazine and our catch up on Wednesday!
Always feel free to change up my colours and stitches. I love seeing what everyone comes up with!
These are the main colours if you want a quick snapshot of them:
Dark teal blue - 500 × 1 skein
Light teal blue - 501 × 1 skein
Rich brown - 300 × 1 skein
Orange - 301 × 1 skein
Burgundy - 221 × 1 skein
Yellow - 729 × 1 skein
Olive - 730 × 1 skein
I stitched onto a heavier linen which was hard to trace through so i used a carbon paper to transfer the pattern.
And here is the other colour way. I looooove this one! It’s so fresh!
The big leaves that protrude form between the petals are done in a wheatear stitch which i will demonstrate in the Zoom session if you’re not familiar with that one. They’re also outlined in a stem stitch.
